SCATTERED POEM

THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT INTEREST ME ARE THE MAD ONES

Picked up Kerouac  from the shelf    yellowed

worn     Inscription inside cover:  Scattered

Poems To You    From a Scattered Person

I am filled with scorn   & curiosity       O Scattered Person why didn’t you keep him?

 

Neat little letters all lined up  in neat

little rows   Some beatnik ho?    Or

usedbook graffiti      Dunno –
